Chapter 153: Then Just Do the Opposite

"Money really makes people arrogant!" Jiang Hao sneered.

There were at least a hundred restaurants on this street currently holding promotions. Such massive discounts would undoubtedly cause significant losses to these establishments, and naturally, the Yang family would bear these costs.

If each restaurant lost about 100,000 yuan a month, the total monthly loss for a hundred restaurants would be ten million yuan!

In other words, the Yang family was spending at least ten million yuan a month just to target Su Qingli's Qingli Health Therapy Restaurant!

Most people simply wouldn’t have the resources or audacity for such a move.

"Having money means you can do whatever you want," Yang Yunhua said proudly, lifting his chin slightly.

Then, shifting his tone, he looked at Su Qingli. "Do you now understand the consequences of injuring my son? Do you realize what happens when you offend the Yang family? Ha ha ha, do you regret it?"

Yang Yunhua sneered, his face full of smug satisfaction.

Su Qingli felt utterly helpless.

In the past, others in Maple Leaf City had offended the Yang family. Those who did either had to apologize in person, begging for forgiveness from Yang Yunhua, or they were forced to leave Maple Leaf City altogether—after all, the city was essentially the Yang family’s territory.

Though aware of these stories, Su Qingli had never personally experienced such a situation until now.

Now, she truly understood the consequences of crossing the Yang family and just how formidable their power was.

All this—spending vast sums of money to bribe numerous restaurants into malicious competition, causing her business to suffer—was the Yang family’s doing, just to avenge Yang Yunhua’s son.

"Master Yang, I... I want to..." Su Qingli sighed, preparing to apologize.

After all, from her perspective, neither she nor Jiang Hao could stand against the Yang family. It would be better to apologize early, show humility, and try to earn Yang Yunhua’s forgiveness.

But before she could finish, Jiang Hao suddenly raised his hand, stopping her.

"Jiang Hao?" Su Qingli looked at him in confusion.

He shook his head. "Don’t bow to him! Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with him."

---

"But..." Su Qingli’s face was filled with worry, her expression deeply gloomy.

Seated arrogantly at the restaurant entrance, Yang Yunhua sneered and looked disdainfully at Jiang Hao. "You think you can deal with me? What method do you have? Come on, tell me, I’m listening!"

He laughed heartily, then mocked, "Jiang Hao, don’t try to be brave. Even though you managed to break away from the Su family and made them back down, proving you have some strength, you’re far from qualified to act tough in front of the Yang family!"

"I’ll make this clear. You’d better come to the Yang family and beg for forgiveness, letting my son Yang Ziyun punch you three times—three times, and you can’t resist! You beat my son so badly; it’s only fair he returns the favor."

"If you refuse, then you and Su Qingli can get out of Maple Leaf City!"

"You have three days to decide!"

With that, Yang Yunhua snorted coldly, stood up from his chair, and prepared to leave.

But before he stepped out, Jiang Hao’s voice suddenly rang out.

"No need to think for three days. I can give you an answer right now!"

Yang Yunhua turned sharply toward him. "Then say it—are you going to beg for forgiveness and let my son punch you three times, or will you take your wife and get out of Maple Leaf City?"

Su Qingli looked anxiously at Jiang Hao.

She didn’t know what Jiang Hao would choose, but she hoped he would pick the second option.

Because the first was simply too much!

To come begging was one thing, but to be punched three times by Yang Ziyun?

Yang Ziyun wasn’t ordinary—he was a martial artist. If Jiang Hao didn’t resist, he would surely be seriously injured.

So, Su Qingli thought it better to leave Maple Leaf City with Jiang Hao. The company was already registered; they could just relocate and continue their business elsewhere. Life would go on.

The two female university student waitresses, who had retreated to a corner, looked at Jiang Hao with a mixture of fear and hope.

They had been terrified by Yang Yunhua and now pinned all their hopes on Jiang Hao.

"Speak! Which one do you choose?" Yang Yunhua asked triumphantly, as if already imagining Jiang Hao kneeling before his son, crying and begging for mercy.

---

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hao replied without hesitation, "I refuse to choose either!"

"What!" Yang Yunhua was momentarily stunned.

Jiang Hao continued, "Why should I pick one of your two options? Yang Yunhua, listen carefully—I will neither apologize to your family nor leave Maple Leaf City! If you want to suppress us, then so be it. Let’s see if you can really do anything to me and Qingli!"

At these words, Su Qingli’s face showed shock.

The two waitresses in the corner were stunned by the sheer boldness Jiang Hao exuded.

To speak so fearlessly before the reputed head of the most powerful family in town—this was astonishing.

Jiang Hao went on, "Yang Yunhua, haven’t you noticed? Even after a whole week of poor business at our restaurant, neither Qingli nor I are worried."

"And I’m not afraid to tell you—I’ve already helped Qingli register the company and opened two more branches here in Maple Leaf City, plus others in different cities! No matter how you try to target this one restaurant, it won’t matter to us!"

"Of course, you could bribe more restaurants to maliciously compete against our other branches. But so what? You target one, I open another. If you try to hit all our branches in Maple Leaf City, I’ll open more in Donglin City, Nanyang City, and even farther away!"

"Yang Yunhua, can you even keep up?"

"Trying to force us to close by bribing surrounding restaurants? That will never happen!"

Jiang Hao’s words changed Yang Yunhua’s expression dramatically.

He had no idea Jiang Hao had already registered a company for Su Qingli and opened other branches.

In that instant, Yang Yunhua realized his information was outdated.

Moreover, Jiang Hao’s argument was irrefutable.

No matter how powerful or wealthy the Yang family was, they couldn’t possibly bribe every restaurant in the world.

Jiang Hao and Su Qingli could open branches in multiple cities. Yang Yunhua could never target every Qingli Health Therapy branch.

The game was far from over.
